Breanna Brukalo is leaving her Mayor’s Cup experience with a few souvenirs. The McKee/Staten Island Tech sweeper got a medal for participating and plaque for MVP honors to go long with a welt over her left eye after colliding with Riverdale’s Isabella Bertagna.

“It happened and I saw the blood in front of my eye,” Brukalo said. “I should probably not make a scene and I got off the field really quickly.”

She left the game late in the first half and tried to hide the bump with a pair of aviator sunglass on the bench before returning in the second stanza to control the back. Brukalo was an example of a resilent PSAL senior all-stars team of seniors that won 4-1 over the Independent schools in the first annual girls soccer NYC Mayor’s Cup championship game Sunday afternoon at Poly Prep.

“She looks scary on the field,” Flushing’s Melissa Lijo said of Brukalo. “If she was on the other side of the field I wouldn’t want to play her.”

Susan Wagner’s Deanna Kvetfoff scored twice in the second half. Lijo had a goal and an assist and Beacon’s Alex Easton added two assists. The PSAL lost an exhibition game to a group of the CHSAA’s top seniors Saturday. The Catholic team was only allowed to play once because of a league rule limiting postseason all-star contests.

“After yesterday’s loss we wanted it more today,” Kvetkoff said. “We all knew better where we were on the field because we had that game.”

The PSAL felt it played more like a team in this game and had an advantage with a larger roster because they played twice. Still they found themselves quickly down 1-0 when Bertagna rifled a 20-yard free kick off the crossbar and the rebound fell right to the foot of Shannon Rhodes, Packer’s Villanova-bound midfielder. She calmly scored to the near post in the 12th minute.

“It’s on a bigger scale than most people are used to,” Rhodes said. “That was pretty awesome. … I think people under estimate the private schools a lot.”

With Bertagna, who also had a bump over her eye, not returning, Independent team and Riverdale coach Orlando Osorio felt his team lost the connection it had in the first half especially between her and teammate Rachel Copulsky. Lijo got the PSAL even in the 44nd minute. She lofted a high shot into the upper corner off a touch from Easton.

In the 54th minute, Lijo delivered a perfect corner kick into the box that pint-sized Megan Caccavale of LaGuardia headed into the opposite post by flicking her head backward. PSAL coach Kevin Jacobs of Beacon said and assistant coach Kristina Anderson of New Utrecht joked on the sideline when Caccavale tried the same move at midfield and the ball went nowhere. Kvetkoff scored twice in the box with less than 20 minutes to play to provide the insurance goals.

“She is the shortest kid on our team, but that’s the spot we want to put it in,” Lijo said of Caccavale. … “That was a great header from her.”

The players raved about their first Mayor’s Cup experience and about playing with and against some of the city’s top players. The coaches believed it provided a great ending of the season for the girls and promoted girls soccer, but hoped in the future something greater could grow from this.

“I think the champions from each division should meet in here,” Osorio said. “That’s when you can really get an idea of who are really the best players out there during the year. … It really doesn’t measure who was the best team in the city.”

Jacobs offered up an even more radical idea. He proposed an eight-team tournament of 40-minute games over two days. It could even include a senior all-star game with players from teams that did not make the bracket.

“You want to see the best teams play,” Jacobs said. “That’s what I want. I want to see Beacon, St. Joseph Hill, Riverdale, Bronx Science and whoever. … I think everybody would be excited to see that.”

His players however enjoyed hoisting the Mayor’s Cup trophy and posing for pictures afterwards. For them it was a chance to take the soccer field one more time considered one of New York City’s best players.

“Playing your last high school game and winning it,” Lijo said. “That’s the best way to top it off.”
